🏆 Gold Ledger (2015)

In "The Beachcombers' Picnic," Mickey and Goofy stumble upon a hidden tropical valley heated by volcanic hot springs, only to be captured by a secretive tribe guarding a treasure of gold. With the river suddenly rising and boiling due to underground heat, the duo must find a way to escape before the valley floods and turns into a deadly cauldron. Written by Carl Fallberg and illustrated by Paul Murry, this 1959 adventure blends jungle mystery with classic Disney charm, all framed by Tony Strobl’s dynamic cover and John Liggera’s sharp inks.
